Adding a product image

A desired number of product images can be added to products. Adding images requires the use of extended product management for the respective company. Product image management can be found by opening the desired product and going to the image management tab. Added images are only available for that specific product or its models. If an image is to be used for another product, it must be added again for that product.

The image can be a .png, jpg, jpeg, or tif file. The image is retrieved from your own computer.

  1. Open the desired product and go to the image management tab.
  2. Select from your computer the images to be added (file format .png, jpg, jpeg or tif).
  3. Repeat the selection until the desired number of images has been added.
  4. Select the Add button when the desired number of images has been selected.

Once the desired number of products has been added, press the "Add" button.

In the above example, three images have been added. From these, you select which is the main image of the product. The main image represents the product in listings and the product view. The desired image can be selected as the main image by choosing the option below the image name. If necessary, the image can be deleted from this view. If the image to be deleted is already the main image of the product and the image is deleted, the first product image will automatically become the default main image.

  1. From the added images, select the one to be set as the main image by choosing the option below the image name.
  2. If necessary, delete an image from this view if you do not want to use it for the product.
  3. If you delete an image that is the main image, note that the first product image will automatically become the default main image.
  4. Finally, select the Save button.

Finally, press the "Save" button.

Product images are used when displaying products as an image grid, and the number of product images is indicated when listing products in a table. All product images are also displayed in the product view in the manner shown below. The main image is displayed first. You can click on the image to view it larger.

Editing a product image

You can click on the image to view it larger, from where it can be edited in the Edit tab. You can give the product a caption or change which is the main image if there are multiple images.

  1. In the product view or image grid, select the desired image by clicking it.
  2. In the view that opens, go to the Edit tab.
  3. Give the product an image caption if needed.
  4. If necessary, change the main image by selecting which image is set as the main image if there are multiple images.
  5. Save the changes you made.

Deleting a product image

A product image can be deleted from the image management tab via the delete image link. The system will ask for confirmation, "Are you sure you want to delete this image".

  1. Open the desired product and go to the image management tab.
  2. Select the image to be deleted.
  3. Select the delete image link.
  4. Confirm the deletion when the system asks: "Are you sure you want to delete this image".

Setting an image for models

If it is a main product, the added images must be shared with the models, meaning selecting which images are related to which model. Images must always be attached first to the main product and then distributed among the models. When viewing a model, only the images set for it are shown. Setting is done one image at a time from the product's image management tab or directly from the desired image's management window.

In the Edit tab, all product models are shown in a table if any have been created. From the list, you can select the models for which the image should be available. Confirm the selections with the Save button at the bottom of the page.

  1. First add the images to the main product in the image management tab.
  2. Open each image either from the image management tab or directly from the image management window.
  3. Go to the image's Edit tab.
  4. In the table, check all product models if any have been created.
  5. From the list, select the models for which the image should be available.
  6. Confirm the selections with the Save button at the bottom of the page.

Images set for models are visible in the product model's information. The main product shows all images, and its model only shows the selected ones.
